This past Sunday was the 10 year anniversary of the September 11th attacks on our country. As a part of our Social Studies lessons this week, we remembered that day in history and talked about what an anniversary is (a date marked on the same day every year celebrating or commemorating an event that happened on that date in the past) and why September 11th marks a sadder type of anniversary for our country. We also talked about the hero's that gave Americans hope, courage, and helped them feel safe again in such a scary time in their lives. We decided to make a classroom memorial for all of the people that lost their lives that day. I am one lucky teacher, because I have the sweetest, smartest, most kind-hearted group of students in my class this year! They were so thoughtful and took this assignment very seriously! Our memorial posters turned out GREAT! Here are a few pictures of our posters...
And here are the finished products!
(We are still waiting on the green group to finish...they have a few more details they want to add,
so I will add it to the blog when they finish)
